Seahawks Win in Spurts
Seahawk quarterback Jim Zorn threw for the first two touchdowns, hitting running back Sherman Smith on a 21-yarder and then connecting for 31 yards to tight end John McMakin 18 seconds later after Seattle recovered a Falcon fumble on the kickoff. Seahawk safety Al Matthews intercepted a Scott Hunter pass and carried it 41 yards for a TD in the third period. His fellow safety, Dave Brown, intercepted another Hunter pass to set up a 53-yard scoring run by Smith as Seattle rang up two touchdowns within 38 seconds. Atlanta scored on field goals of 18 and 21 yards by Nick Mike-Mayer and on a 15-yard pass to wide receiver Alfred Jenkins from quarterback Kim McQuilkin, who took over after Hunter was forced from the game when he took a hard block on Matthews' interception.
